SUMMARY:Never Forget Garden Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Our chapter is on the schedule to maintain this small garden this month. The Never Forget Garden is located at the Veterans Memorial Park in College Station and will likely need only an hour’s effort\, so if anyone is interested and wants to come\, respond to this email and we will welcome your company! \n\n\n\nStart time is 9AM September 21st\,  so we will make quick work of this!

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Memorial Park Kinder Land Bridge and Wolff Prairie
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Location \n\n\n\nIn Google Maps- Parking Lot- Memorial Park- Running Track (N Picnic Ln) – we will meet at the Rally Pavilion in the southern part of the parking area (GPS 29.76584\, -95.44630). \n\n\n\nThings To Bring \n\n\n\nWe may wander off trail\, so boots/closed toe shoes and bug spray recommended. Please bring adequate hydration and other items you may require to be comfortable. I anticipate we will be in full sun the entire time\, so dress appropriately. \n\n\n\nField Trip Overview \n\n\n\nThe Memorial Land Bridge and Prairie Project has provided Houston with a unique driving experience while providing habitat connectivity between larger environs north and south of Memorial Drive. From a plant perspective this area will provide participants with the ability to see how species respond to various restoration techniques. If time permits\, we will explore forest edge\, prairie\, wetland\, and riparian communities. Due to the amount of earthwork required for this project\, erosion due to slopes and utilization of subsurface clays made rapid vegetation and soil cohesion via rooting extremely important. As a result\, we will likely see a few grass species such as sideoats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula\, State Grass of Texas) and hairy grama (B. hirsuta). These species are more typical of Central and Western Texas\, but inclusions within the Houston area are often on recently exposed lagoonal/marine mudstones (e.g. clays deposited in a marine/deltac systems). In addition to plant identification\, we will discuss how plant species can be selected based on anticipated post-restoration conditions\, how adaptive management can be utilized to promote success\, and how high-profile projects demand additional planning. \n\n\n\nAdditional Site Information \n\n\n\nhttps://www.memorialparkconservancy.org/discover/master-plan/land-bridge-prairie-restoration-project/ \n\n\n\nAbout the Field Trip Leader \n\n\n\nAndy Newman is the Chief Ecologist at The Earth Partners and has 15 years of experience working within diverse ecosystems for a wide array of project types. His position places an emphasis leading the technical ecological restoration of projects\, managing construction and adaptive management\, and helping clients meet their compensatory mitigation requirements. His background includes environmental restoration planning\, stakeholder engagement\, construction\, planting\, and ecological uplift assessment. Andy’s specialties include aquatic feature delineations and jurisdictional determinations\, Clean Water Act permitting\, threatened and endangered species identification and consultations\, NEPA compliance\, plant identification\, and community classification. His favorite ecosystems include longleaf pine savannas\, coastal prairies\, and southern Appalachian forests. \n\n\n\nAdditional Coordination Details \n\n\n\nPlease contact Bob Romero for any further coordination details at bobromero@gmail.com or by phone at 713.248.6030.
